The road to my first app

Hello,

The first time I had my own PC was aroud the year 2000. I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was coming up the stairs when I heard my mom say “Come quick we have a suprise for you”. Thinking it is a toy or a tv I would have never imagined it is a PC. It was 486 PC with a 15 inch monitor all white, all shiny. I think a tear of joy was sitting in the corner of my eye and I was stunned for a few minutes.

Since then I always wanted to unterstand how it works and how can I alter the code and create my own programs. My imagination was working non stop thinking of what I could build  starting from creating cool things and pushing it near to hacking NASA :))

Trying to control the software I attended a highschool with extra courses on Computer Science and there I found pascal program. With this choice I hit a wall because it was never how I imagined it would be.

Four years later I thought I could create robots to interact with the world but yet again I hit wall. After the four years at the university I realized that my dreams and my ideas will never be understood by any school. So I pursued my other passion which was web development which I still enjoy today. But, on the back of my head,  I was always thinking for something that could offer me the chance to build something from my own ideas and imagination, something where the possibilities are endless. And then I found Apple Developer program.

While proving  myself that I can really create games, Flying Zuzzi emerged.

Coding music

Hello coders,

If you are like me you cannot code without music. You need those beats that make you keep going all day. I feel like Mozart when I code with every key pressed I am trying to give life to a soulless coding block. So like notes every part of my code needs to be in the right place otherwise it sounds bad 🙂 The final masterpiece will touch so many people and if I do it right people who browse my website will feel like they are actually surfing the internet and not flushing the toilet.

The best app that I found for music is Soundcloud and when I am at my desk I use the website version of Soundcloud.

This cool app allows you to create playlists, follow musicians, share playlists and many more. One word “Awesome”.

So check out my “Awesome music” playlist at https://soundcloud.com/viorel-petrea/sets/awesome-music

What makes you guys keep on going every day at office?

Thank you,
